When I got my B15NF it was red plating the output tubes, leaky capacitors were the problem. Having replaced the amps filter caps and the tubes I had several events of flash over of the GZ34/5AR4 rectifier tube. Adding a silicon rectifier, UF5408, to each plate to increase the PIV solved that permanently. On the whole the amp is a pleasure to use and a delight to hear. Incidentally I play six stringed basses. Edited March 10, 2023 by BassmanPaul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twincam Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I found the amped pf20t OK the tone too gravely. Even after tube changes. The 50w version is better. Far more useable too volume wise. They seem stupid expensive from when the first came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassmanPaul Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 What do you expect a 20W or even a 50W tube amp to sound like? Volume is not their forté tone is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
